Wolf illegaly shot in Germany

This computer tomography image (produced by the Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin) clearly shows the cluster of lead shot in the stomach region of a wolf. The dead wolf was found by chance by a hiker in January 2009 in Saxony, Germany. The evidence from this imagery clearly proves that the wolf has been illegally shot. It could have lived for several days with such a wound. Illegal killing is very difficult to obtain data on, but the accumulation of data from across Europe reveals that it is widespread.
